Typhoid - vaccination

Protect yourself against typhoid fever before you travel with our private Typhoid Vaccination service.

Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi. It is usually spread through contaminated food and water and is more common in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and other regions where sanitation standards may differ from those in the UK.

Our Typhoid Vaccination helps reduce your risk of infection when travelling to destinations where typhoid is more common or where vaccination is recommended.

Before vaccination, one of our healthcare professionals will review your travel plans, medical history and individual circumstances to determine whether the vaccine is suitable for you.

Who should consider the Typhoid vaccine?

The Typhoid vaccine may be suitable for:

• Travellers visiting destinations where typhoid is more common or where vaccination is recommended

• Backpackers and adventure travellers

• Individuals visiting friends and relatives abroad

• People travelling to rural areas or places with limited sanitation

• Anyone wishing to reduce their risk of typhoid infection while travelling

If you're unsure whether you need the Typhoid vaccine for your trip, our healthcare professional can provide personalised travel health advice based on your destination and itinerary.

Please note

The Typhoid Vaccination is a private service and charges apply.

Protection lasts for approximately three years. If you remain at risk of typhoid or are travelling again after this time, a booster vaccination is recommended.
